GreenlyWhen to plant tomatoes in Mexico: 13 January – 4 September
Tomato in Mexico: plant out into open ground from 13 January to 4 September; the window opens earliest in Aguascalientes and closes latest in Toluca (15 cities).
Each window starts on the Greenly calendar date and ends on the last day that still leaves the crop’s days to harvest (from its card) before the average first autumn frost, plus six weeks of picking for crops harvested over weeks (tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, cucumbers, courgettes, pumpkins, watermelons, beans) — our rule; earlier in the window is safer.
